The purpose of these college football threads and articles are to help those who don't know a ton about the sport to stay informed throughout the year up until draft time. There are several people on this site, and others from other SBNation sites, that love to talk about college football. If you consider youself not interested, or not understanding why it's being discussed on a Niners related website then there are plenty of other great articles and fanposts on the site to focus on relative to the 49ers.
So far there hasn't been a shortage in upsets, exciting games, and of course blowouts. At a quick glance at this weeks schedule, it seems as though we could be in for quite a few more blowouts as far as the top 25 teams games are concerned. Although there is always potential for the weekly upset(s); See: James Madison beating the then ranked Virginia Tech. Unless something major happens though, there should not be much movement on the top 25 boards.
There are a few interesting games though but only one with board movement implications. #9 Ranked Iowa will take on Mike Stoops' #24 Ranked Arizona Wildcats. Although Iow will be heavily favored, look for the Wildcats to put up a good fight. Other games to keep an eye on

Recapping Week 2:
The week began early on Thursday with #21 Ranked Auburn barely skating past Mississippi State 17-14 and Temple beating out Central Michigan in overtime 13-10.
Another pair of games followed on Friday starting with #23 Ranked West Virginia barely pulling off an overtime win against the Thundering Herd of Marshall who played on heck of a game. They almost pulled off the upset. After that Case Keenum and the rest of the Houston Cougars Team put a whoopin' on UTEP. If Keenum continues on like this all year and is able to have a solid performances against UCLA, Mississipi State, and Texas Tech he will be in the Heisman Trophy talks. Whether or not he deserves to be is another topic.
Saturday had as much spice as sizzling fajita's doused in habanero salsa. Anyway, there was plenty of excitement and fireworks. A lot of the ranked teams were involved in some of the closer games. It wasn't one of the most talked about games but South Carolina knocking off Georgia surprised a lot of folks. All of the top 10 teams dominated as expected but someunranked teams made their way in to the top 25. All of the top 25 teams should have it easy for the most part but it wouldn't completly shock me to see one of them fall. Afterall, it is college football.
Below is the list of Saturday's games:
